Write His Answer

Last weekend I was in Wisconsin teaching a two-day Write His Answer seminar. What a joy and privilege!

Throughout the seminar we sang  “Write the Answer.” My good friend, Becky Spencer, wrote the music and first verse. I added the second verse.  (See words below.)

Father, help us to make the most of our opportunities to share the good news, to be “bold enough to tell it freely and fully, and make it plain” (Col. 4:5 TLB). And Father, please help us take control of those things that can so easily consume the hours in each day such as “The Twenty-third Channel” and the Internet.

If you’ve never done the “Called to ‘Write His Answer'” Bible study, I hope you’ll go to http://writehisanswer.com/called_to_wha.htm for the free study sheet.

God bless you and your writing ministry.

The Twenty-third Channel

The TV is my shepherd,
I shall want more.
It makes me lie down on the sofa.
It leads me away from the Scriptures.
It destroys my soul.
It leads me in the path of sex and violence
for the sponsor’s sake.
Yea, though I walk in the shadow
of my Christian responsibilities,
there will be no interruption,
for the TV is with me.
Its cable and remote control – 
they comfort me.
It prepares a commercial before me
in the presence of my worldliness.
It anoints my head with humanism;
my coveting runneth over.
Surely laziness and ignorance shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house
watching TV forever.

Write the Answer

Write the answer;
make it clear.
Shout My message;
help them hear.
All who read it–
how they’ll run
to share the vision
that has come.

Live My answer;;
make it clear.
Love My people;
help them hear.
All who know You,
how they’ll run
to share the Good News
of Your Son.
